+
+The following are the instructions to deploy the angular-fullstack app to Google Cloud App Engine Standard Environment
+
+# Prequsites
+  ## 1. Google Cloud SDK
+  Download and install [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/)
+  ## 2. Create GCP Project
+  ```bash
+  gcloud projects create [PROJECT_ID]
+  ```
+  ```[PROJECT_ID]``` ID for the project you want to create.
+
+  ## 3. Enable Billing
+  You need to enable billing for your project before you begin using App Engine
+  ```bash
+  gcloud alpha billing projects link my-project \ 
+      --billing-account 0X0X0X-0X0X0X-0X0X0X
+  ```
+  [gcloud alpha billing projects link](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/alpha/billing/projects/link)
+  
+  ## 4. Create a MongoDB database
+  Create a MongoDB instance and obtain the uri and credentials. There are multiple options for creating a new MongoDB database.
+  - Create a Google Compute Engine virtual machine with [MongoDB pre-installed](https://cloud.google.com/launcher/?q=mongodb).
+  - Create a MongoDB instance with [MongoDB Atlas on GCP](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas/mongodb-google-cloud).
+  - Use [mLab](https://mlab.com/google) to create a free MongoDB deployment on Google Cloud Platform.
+
+
+# Deployment Setup
+  ## 1. Set Node / NPM versions
+    GCloud App Engine supports only the newest version of Node.js 8
+ ```javascript
+    "engines": {
+    "node": ">=8.0",
+    "npm": "^5.1.1"
+  },
+  ```
+
+  ## 2. Create Application configuration file (app.yaml)
+    A Node.js app in App Engine is configured through a file named app.yaml, that contains runtime, handlers, 
+    scaling, and other general settings including environment variables.
+
+    2.1 create a 'app.yaml' file with the following contents
+
+ ```yaml
+ 
+    env: standard 
+
+    runtime: nodejs8
+
+    env_variables:
+      MONGODB_URI:  "mongodb://<dbuser  :<dbpassword  @<environment_URI/deployment_name"
+    
+ ```
+
+    2.2 Add app.yaml to .gitignore
+
+# Deployment Steps
+  ## 1. Build the app
+  ```bash
+    gulp build
+  ```
+  ## 2. Copy app.yaml to dist
+  ```bash
+    cp app.yaml dist
+  ```
+  ## 3. Change to build directory
+  ```bash
+    cd dist
+  ```
+  ## 4. Deploy
+  ```bash
+    gcloud app deploy
+  ```
